Thanks.I had baby chicks last year under a broody, but they were just in with the rest of the flock.

We found three wild tiny baby ducks in our yard today. I have a broody hen that I haven't let have any eggs,but she refuses to stop being broody. Can I put baby ducks under her and what is the best way?

I don't think so, but I don't know. What are the characteristics of a bobcat kill?

Thank you for the sympathy. :) I want to get a game cam. First order of business, tho, is to get some more secure fencing for the birds. I would be seriously surprised if anyone showed up after this late date. I looked every single place and walked the field around us. We do live next to a...

Quote: I have not. I've looked everywhere and under everything. Walked the neighbors field also. No sign of anything. Quote: We have electric netting, but of course not hooked up. My husband also thought that about them making multiple trips. We live about a quarter mile from a woods behind...

I am in search of a puppy from working parents or a adult dog that has been with chickens. I am willing to spend the time and effort to train a puppy to guard chickens, but an adult would be great too.

My husband thinks that coyotes may have hauled off with the nine I can't find to feed pups but would they leave eight behind? Cause I found and buried eight and have one injured with bite marks on her back.

I'm certain that they are hidden somewhere but if something else didn't get them by now is the question.

. lol...all is good. A mama and baby coyote? But would they kill and leave seven bodies uneaten?

I have such bad luck with chickens. I've now lost around 30 birds to dogs....and these were just starting to lay. Grrrrrrr. Time for a guardian dog. Thanks for the sympathy wishes. Hard week. Husbands father died, lost our second baby two weeks ago and now this.

There were large paw prints in the mud so raccoons are ruled out....in fact two sizes of paw prints, my dad said.

I did walk all around my property calling for them but it was dusk and 24 hours later. I plan to walk it again tomorrow in the daylight. Funny. I thought I was in the predator thread. Hmmm.

I was gone away for a funeral and while I was gone my family was letting my chickens out and shutting them in. When my dad came to shut them in last night, he found 7 dead and scattered around the pasture. I had 27. 7 to 10 were still around and 10 are completely missing....no bodies...nothing...

The only new thing I have added is a cabbage ball to entertain them.

I wondered about red mites. They have a small coop that they sleep in at night and it is attached to a straw bale shed type where their food, water,and nest boxes are. The whole thing is surrounded by electric netting except for the very back of the small house. The electric netting connects to...

I have 12 chickens of various breeds. They have been acting strange lately but tonight when I went to shut them in, most of them were out sleeping in the snow! We have like 8-12 inches on the ground and several of them are out sleeping in it instead of inside their house. Only one of the twelve...

What can I do to keep her alive?? She won't move at all. It's like she is in a coma!

Thank you! I changed the title and updated her info. :(
